Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo has expressed his hope that Mohamed Salah will extend his stay at Anfield, praising the Egyptian’s immense influence on the team amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future.
Salah’s current contract is due to expire in June 2025, with negotiations over a new deal continuing to attract widespread attention. Softfootball understands Gakpo believes Liverpool are fortunate to have one of the world’s best forwards and hopes the club can secure his long-term future.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Gakpo said:
It is special what we are all witnessing. The amount of goals he scores but the assists he gives as well, the way he plays the game, how he puts other attacking players or midfielders like myself in a position to score and to be dangerous is from a high level.
The Netherlands international admitted Salah’s quality has made him a valuable teammate and a key figure in Liverpool’s success.
I hope for us and for him that he can continue doing that for a long time. We are very lucky to have him and proud that we can be his teammate,
he added.
Liverpool supporters will be hoping the club can reach an agreement with Salah as they aim to keep one of the Premier League’s greatest forwards at Anfield.
